We have had Jerry since about 3 weeks old due to his mother being hit by a car. I bottle fed him and his sister (minnie) and they both did wonderfully. Jerry in particular is a very very good cat. He is healthy, and was fixed at 6 months old. He is now 2 and a half.
Jerry is playfull and loving. He never fights with the other cats. He lets my daughters pick him up and carry him around like a baby doll. He sleps with us in our bed at night. He allows us to pet his belly and all over for hours if we want.
So the problem is... well first about 6 months ago, my 13 year old step son was visiting for the night. He was in his room with Jerry and Jerry scratched him. It was a pretty deep scratch right across his nose and eye. It bleed alot.
We figured he must havew been aggravating Jerry, because it is not in Jerrys personality to scratch. And it is in a 13 year old boys personality to agravate.
Well yesturday afternoon my cousin was here. She loves Jerry so much because he looks very simalar to her cat. She went over to him and pet him and talked to him very nicely. She picked him up and started to love him. Well jerry scratched her, right across the face. From her ear all the way across both eyes.
He did it on purpose, and it was deep. I am very glad and fortunate it was not a little lower because he could have scratched her eyes.
So why would he do this?
